A student pulls horizontally on a block with a spring scale. The block reads 24.5 Newtons before the block starts to move. It reads 23.7 Newtons as she pulls the block at a constant velocity. How should she explain this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

Explanation:

Since the block reads 24.5 N before the block starts to move, this is its weight. Now, when the block starts to move at a constant velocity, it experiences a frictional force which is equal to the force with which the student pulls.

Now, since the velocity is constant so, there is no acceleration and thus, the net force is zero.

Let F = force applied and f = frictional force = μN = μW where μ = coefficient of friction and N = normal force. The normal force also equals the weight of the object W.

Now, since F - f = ma and a = 0 where a = acceleration and m = mass of block,

F - f = m(0) = 0

F - f = 0

F = f

Since the force applied equals the frictional force, we have that

F =  μW and F = 23.7 N and W = 24.5 N

So, 23.7 N = μ(24.5 N)

μ = 23.7 N/24.5 N

μ = 0.97

Since μ = 0.97 < 1, the coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

The tree branch in the preceding problem sags, and the child's feet rest on the ground. If the tension in the rope is reduced to 220 N, what is the value of the normal force being exerted on the child's feet?

Answers

The complete question is

A 45-kg child sits on a 3.2-kg tire swing. The tension on the rope is 470 N. The tree branch sags and the child's feet rest on the ground. If the tension in the rope is reduced to 220 N, what is the value of the normal force being exerted on the child's feet?

Answer:

Therefore the Normal force is being exerted on the child's feet is 252.36( 250N).

Explanation:

We are given

mass of child = 45kg

mass of the tire = 3.2kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

We have the first case in which the tire is in swing so tension in that case will be which is the resultant force.

Fr = Resultant force

Ft =  Tension force

Fg= Gravitational force

Fr = Fg + Ft

0 = -mg + Ft

Ft = mg

   = (45+3.2)*9.8

   = 48.2 * 9.8

Ft = 472.36N  ( which is close to 470)

In the second case the child is in the rest position, The resultant force will be zero.

Fr = Ft + Fn + Fg  ( Normal force is denoted by Fn )

0 = Ft + Fn + Fg

Fn =  -Fg -Ft

Fn = mg -Ft

    = 472.36 - 220

Fn  = 252.36N  ( close to 250N)

Therefore the Normal force being exerted on the child's feet will be 252.36N.  

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air friction), what will the velocity of the packet be when it reaches the ground?

Answers

Answer: 121.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here we will use the conservation of energy.

We can write the total energy of an object as:

E = K + U

For this particular case we have:

K = kinetic energy = (m/2)*v^2

U = potential energy = m*g*h

where:

m = mass of the object.

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

h = height at which the object is dropped, in this case 750m

v = velocity of the object.

Right when the packet is dropped, it's velocity is equal to zero, this means that there is no kinetic energy and only potential energy, then we have:

Ei = Ui = m*9.8m/s^2*750m = m*(7350m^2/s^2)

And when the object is about to hit the ground, h will be almost equal to zero, this will mean that we will have only kinetic energy, and because of the conservation of energy, this final energy must be the same as the initial energy, then we will have

Ei = Ef

m*(7350m^2/s^2) = Ef = Kf

m*(7350m^2/s^2) = (m/2)*v^2

We can divide by m in both sides to get:

(7350m^2/s^2) = (1/2)*v^2

√( 2*(7350m^2/s^2)) = v = 121.2 m/s

Then the velocity of the packet when it reaches the ground is 121.2 m/s

A baseball on the Moon and an identical baseball on the Earth are thrown vertically upward with the same initial velocity of 12 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon? What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth? What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

Answers

Answer:

a. 3.68 m b. 0.61 m c. 3.07 m

Explanation:

a. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon?

Using v² = u² - 2g'h where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height), g' = acceleration due to gravity on moon = g/6 where g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s², so g' = 9.8 m/s²/6 = 1.63 m/s² and h = maximum height of ball on moon.

So, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = -(v² - u²)/2g'

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(1.63 m/s²)

= 3.68 m

b. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth?

Using the same equation for the maximum height the baseball travels on the moon for that on the earth, the maximum height h' the baseball travels on the earth is given by  

h' = -(v² - u²)/2g where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height),  g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²and h' = maximum height of ball on moon.

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

= 0.61 m

c. What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

The difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth is d = h - h' = 3.68 m - 0.61 m = 3.07 m

Which of the following statements is true?*

C. The weight of an object on Earth is less than the weight of the same object on the
moon, but the mass remains the same.
D. All of the above statements are true.

Answers

Answer; B, C
Explanation;
weight and mass are proportional but not equal

Weight is the gravitational force an object experiences due to its mass and gravitational acceleration and the weight of an object on Earth is less than the weight of the same object on the Moon, but the mass remains the same. Thus, the correct options are B and C.

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?

Mass is a scalar quantity. This is because it has magnitude only and no direction. Mass is commonly measured in the units of kilograms and grams.

Weight is a vector quantity. It has both the magnitude and it is directed towards the center of the Earth or other gravity well. Weight is commonly measured in the units of Newtons.

Weight is the gravitational force which an object experiences due to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the weight of an object on the Earth is less than the weight of the same object on the Moon, but the mass remains the same as it is not dependent upon the gravity.

Therefore, the correct options are B and C.

A snowball is dropped from a height of H and reaches the ground with a speed of V. If you want to double the speed that the snowball has when it reaches the ground, at what height should you drop it from?

a
2H
b
4H
c
√2H

d
8H
e
16H

Answers

Answer:

Correct choice: b 4H

Explanation:

Conservation of the mechanical energy

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

[tex]U_1 = mgH[/tex]

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

[tex]\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

[tex]\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2][/tex]

Dividing [2] by [1]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4[/tex]

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H
